Bhoole Bisare Geet – 17 – Mera Chand Mujhe

The love for music is universal. Almost everybody likes some form of music. Over the years, I have loved a lot of songs. Somewhere down the road, many of these songs have become hits. I don’t have a favorite song as such but I have a whole list. Being a hit means that a song is loved by many people. Also it means that it is heard more number of times than normal. I have found myself falling out of love toleoverplayed songs so much so that I wished they had never become such a hit.

And there are some songs which never become hit for some reason of the other. The lyrics are good, the song is good, the singer has sung it well but then it does not work with the people. Over a period of time, it gets lost in time somewhere and when you hear it once in a blue moon, its bliss. These songs could have been hits and for some reasons, they never were or they did not enjoy the success that they deserved.

This is about those songs;

The Bhoole bisare Geet, The lost songs!

==========================================

“Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan” was a tacky, almost crappy film. It was one of the earlier Saif Ali Khan movie, which did not even get a theatre release. It premiered on Doordarshan and was one of the last Chunky Pandey films before he went to Bangladesh to become a superstar there.

I say almost crappy because it still had some good stupid comedy. However if written properly, it could have done well. IMDB says that the movie is directed by Mahesh Bhatt. I remember the movie for that one song that was the best part of the movie.

The song was “Mera Chand mujhe”. Kumar Sanu ruled during those days and music was given by Jatin Lalit. Picturised on a very young long haired Saif Ali Khan, the picturisation is still my favorite.

A full moon night, a man deeply in love and the empty streets of Mumbai, it does get romantic!

yes, i remember this song. its one of my favourites. it evokes an image of a moonlit night with cool breeze blowing from everywhere. i first head this song on FM radio. i liked it so much that i recorded it instantly.
